"The Archer family have a long association with
Tanworth-in-Arden. Umberslade Hall, named after 'a stream in the
valley' is the former residence of the family. It was built in
1700 for Andrew Archer, the brother of Thomas Archer the
architect of Birmingham Cathedral."

"TANWORTH-IN-ARDEN: The village is about nine miles south of
Birmingham and just over a mile east of the Birmingham to
Alcester road. The manor was given to Henry de Newburgh, Earl of
Warwick by William the Conqueror, and it continued in the
possession of the family until 1471. Umberslade Hall belonged to
the Archer family."
